Perhaps it’s less of “I’m proud to be a Jew” and more “I’m not ashamed to be a Jew”.
I don’t know, but being Jewish that’s what I feel when I see this. When simply being what you were got you exterminated because you were deemed inferior.
But there was/is no shame wearing the yellow star.
I couldn’t wear such a powerful image, tho I do have a small David.
I wish someone could get more info on this person and the tattoo.

This is a bold, bold tattoo…I don’t think I could ever deal with the reactions the owner will probably get for the rest of their lives, but more power to them for taking that head on.
I went to Berlin last year for vacation and decided I should take a trip to a concentration camp. I am not Jewish but I felt it was an important (albeit grim) part of world history that I should witness while I could. I went to Saschenhausen and it was hands down the worst, most terrible place I had ever been. I don’t know if it was a mental thing, just knowing the horror that went on there or what, but it was insanely depressing, physically draining and haunted me for a long time afterwards. So to have a tattoo of such a place – I can’t imagine. So I think it’s interesting that the owner of this tattoo chose the theme – a sad but constant reminder of a past that cannot be undone but hopefully can be learned from.
This sent chills down my back when I first saw it… an extremely powerful representation of life!
This is an AMAZING tattoo…
One of the best I’ve seen…
As a granddaughter of someone who went through the haulocaust and somehow made it through, I really think this tattoo is amazing and quite powerful. The stories I’ve heard from my father are absolutely horrible and the time my grandmother spent in the camp really messed her up. I don’t know if I could ever get something like this done… although I am proud of my grandmum for making it through and love her dearly.
And I guess the tattoo taboo in Israel would explain why my dad still can’t get used to all my mods.
the tattoo obviously has a certain significance to the wearer – and i believe it symbolises the memory of those who lost their lives in the camps are not forgotten – the tattoo is in fact the gates of auschwitz with the train lines which run into the distance – i visited the memorial site a couple of years ago whilst visiting relatives in Krakow – a very moving experience and one i will never forget – my dad an engineer who has since passed was also at the Nuremberg trials. in all a fitting tattoo in memory of so many people – may they never be forgotten.
